Colour harmony through similar colours
This man was sitting outside his house in Gangzhou China. He seemed to be all ready set for me to take a picture with his very calm and relaxed posture.
Thai Monks Guard house Bangkok, Thailand. I was walking around a monks temple and was just about to leave when it started to rain. I took shelter in the entrance to the temple having passed this man in the guard hut. As I was waiting for the rain to stop I started thinking there must be a picture here. I was joined taking shelter by a man on a motorcycle wearing a white helmet. he looked interesting and I thought about asking him if I could take a picture of him, just before I was going to go up to him, he removed his helmet and for me the picture I saw was gone. At that point I turned and saw the guard in the hut I had just passed and thought that would make an interesting image. I took an image to see if it worked while I waited for the rain to stop. It looked good but I would need to get closer. Once the rain stopped I approached him and he said yes. I took a few pictures moving closer each time. The closer I got the better the picture looked. It reminded me of the famous saying which is 'if your pictures are not good enough your not closer enough' and slow down!!
I thought the crossings in Roppongi, Tokyo had a very graphic character and was waiting at this one for something interesting to happen. This man and his girlfriend looked interesting as they approached the crossing. I started to take pictures and liked this one, one because of the blue of her dress matching the background and also the way it looks, almost like a film still.
